Invasive Plant Removal

The Project Details

Watch the short video below documenting our work conducted on behalf of The Science Museum of Long Island.

The project was generously funded by the Nassau County Soil and Water Conservation District.

We have an enormous capacity to effect positive change; little by little we can take back overrun wild places and turn them into thriving native ecosystems.

This is an ongoing project and we could use all the help we can get, to donate to this project please click here.
